In this later print, Rembrandt depicts the moment when Christ, with his hand on his chest, reveals that he is the man about whom the Samaritan woman has heard. The apostles further away in the middle ground blatantly show their astonishment that he is speaking to her. The landscape and the buildings suggest an Italian influence, but what example Rembrandt relied on is not clear.
